     Ludwig Koenen (Michigan) left for Amman a few days ago; 
     he will be the first papyrologist to have a look and to 
     give technical advice on the unrolling.  Maybe then more 
     will be known about the contents of the papyri.  Some of 
     the writing has been identified as not being Greek.  If
     it's Syriac, bets are the texts are biblical; if Nabataean, 
     they are probably documentary papyri--some of them, anyway.
